Anjeanette, of RootsAndWingsCo made this adorable apple garland out of felt and material. It was a simple project that even those who say they can't sew-can do! (As long as you can thread your needle.)

Step 1: Gather Supplies

I started with felt in three colors. Then I found some coordinating patterned fabric for each color.

Great instructable, we will be running a Saturday workshop to decorate our community centre for the onset of fall.

Your execution is utterly charming. I think it would do for a very nice mobile as well.

Cute! I like the felt-on-fabric technique. Oh, and if you reply directly to Lemonie's comment he'll get a notification. ;)

LOL, Lemonie, I referenced myself, Anjeanette, in third person because there are 3 of us that run our blog together. We tend to do this somewhere just to note which of us made a certain project (though many times all of us make the projects together). Hope that helps with the confusion.
